Plans made in the nursery,
Can change the course of History,
Remember that!

Mummy's annoyed, says go and play,
Don't show your face
Stay away all day
A small boy with his infantry
Marching around so naturally.

Grows up and goes to school
Such a nice boy, obeys all the rules.
Mummy's proud of that!

Leaves school to follow his ambition
Knows what he wants
To be a politician.

Out in the world,
All by himself
All grown up, Mummy's dead.

Becomes a politician,
He leads his country.
Just like when young:
A small boy and his infantry
Marching around so naturally.
